Too Many Tools

There is a tendency for me to buy too many tools. In art or in tech, I love gadgets and equipments, and spend too much on things that I do not or cannot put to full use.

There are opposite arguments on this. Some say try everything you can get hold of, and eventually something (e.g. a medium) will work for you. Some say that limitations can spark creativity.

I find both arguments persuading. However I also possess an unhealthy obsession for impulsive purchase. Just right now I am on the brink of entering my credit card numbers once again.

You never know if it will be a life changing experience, or if that is the last chance to have it. I have had several good and bad purchases, and I may just never stop betting on the next buy.
